I faced the same issue when I updated my android studio to 2.2.3 from 2.1. After a while of struggling, went project->right click -> open module settings->project

1) Gradle : 2.14.1
2) Android plugin version : 2.2.3
3) Android plugin repository : jcenter
4) Default library repository : jcenter

@Mahesh Kumthekar you can also check this out [link](https://developer.android.com/studio/features.html) for features. – Jan 22 '17 at 11:27

Cool answer, my two cents: It does change **distributionUrl** inside `your_project -> gradle -> wrapper -> gradle-wrapper.properties` – Mithun Apr 08 '17 at 21:40
gradle has advanced since.. it's now version 3.3 which fixed my problem. – Ofir D Jun 08 '17 at 14:55

Repair Gradle Installation

(From my answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/43801113/7120475)

This usually happens when something goes wrong in Android Studio's first launch (eg. system crash, connection loss or whatever).

To resolve this issue close Android Studio and delete the following directory's content, necessary files will be downloaded on IDE's next launch.

macOS: ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists

Windows: C:\Users\your-username\.gradle\wrapper\dists

While downloading Gradle manually works, I recommend letting Android Studio itself to do it.

Mine worked after I added my NDK path in Android Studio.

File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location -> Android NDK Location

Hard and fast solution for MacOS (and possibly Linux)

Go to ~/.gradle
Delete all files: rm -rf .gradle
Go to your project folder and do : ./gradlew bootRun

The last step should download all gradle dependencies again.
